This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

  • Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017
    MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Gerry Chaput Chief Capital Officer (Acting), Capital Projects Group Date: June 28, 2017 Re: Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017 Recommendation That this report is received for information. Executive Summary The Capital Projects Group (CPG) is advancing a large and growing program, involving signature projects like the Regional Express Rail (RER) program, the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT), Finch West LRT, Hurontario LRT, Hamilton LRT and Bus Rapid Transit. CPG has made progress in the advancement of RER enabling works using the Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) model with the assistance of Infrastructure Ontario (IO). Rapid Transit (RT) projects are also moving forward with continued construction on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the recent decision from the City of Hamilton Council to approve the Hamilton LRT project and submit an updated environmental assessment (EA) for a 3 kilometre extension from Queenston Circle to Eastgate. Work continues on the management of the RER program’s scope, schedule and budget by introducing new systems, controls and processes and transitioning the program documentation to centralized, system-based record keeping. These systems will be leveraged by all CPG programs and are expected to improve reporting, provide for timely and fact based decision making and better coordinate messaging with stakeholders. CPG is also pleased to report the following accomplishments this quarter: - the introduction of all-day GO Train Service to the Stouffville GO Line to help manage congestion and improve commutes in Scarborough and York Region; - the announcement of the three shortlisted teams to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project; and - breaking ground on the Downtown Bus Terminal project which will be designed to LEED Platinum standards and connect to Union Station and to the PATH system.
